•We recommend using a tripod.

•When the subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range (depth of field) is much narrowed. Therefore, you will have difficulty in focusing on the subject if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after the subject is focused.

•When the camera lens is at a distance beyond the available range from the subject, the subject may not be focused even if the focus indication lights.

•The available flash range is about

30 cm – 4.2 m (Wide). (This is applied when you set the ISO sensitivity to [AUTO].)

•When you take pictures at close range in macro mode, the resolution of the peripheral of the picture may be slightly decreased. However, this is not a malfunction.
